Limerick Travel Forum

Hello, I will be visiting Limerick in April for a few days with my 2 daughters aged 8 and 4. Can anyone recommend attractions, places etc that they might find enjoyable? Where do the locals take their kids for fun? Any ideas welcome, even down to the good play areas, swimming pool etc, and anything to do with animals! Thanks so much for your time, I appreciate it!

Here's a link to the family friendly attractions in Limerick on the official Limerick Tourism website :

The 50m pool is without a doubt the best swimming pool in limerick, and it has public hours right through the week. I think the most child-friendly hours are at the weekend. Here's a link for more info:

Unfortunately, there's no swimming pools with flumes and the like here.

The pool is great, I always go there anytime I'm in Limerick.

But there are some great walks around UL too.

How about King John's Castle? Or Curraghchase - tire 'em out with long walks and running around ;)

Limerick doesn't have a zoo or anything like that, so I can't think of anything animal-related unless they want to look at the swans on the river Shannon :)

Buttercup farm in County Limerick is a great spot for kids. It doesn't open till the Easter weekend though.
